The game is good, the way 1C has implemented multiplayer has some folks twitching, but as my good friend @Mastiff will likely tell you, it’s still good.
The game itself is very visual, gives you a good feeling of flying, has about the same level of systems depth as IL2-1946, but with some UI innovations that are either cool or annoying, depending on how you like visual stimuli. I particularly enjoy the winter front, although a lot of folks complained about being annoyed with all the white. I thought it was pretty cool to fly for minutes over a completely white landscape and then see your target in the distance, smoking and burning from previous attacks.
